Aztecs beat Nevada 39-38 in OT

Despite losing starting quarterback Ryan Katz to a fractured ankle in the first quarter, SDSU pulled out all the stops at Mackay Stadium Saturday night to upset Mountain West leaders Nevada 39-38.

Remember Rocky Long’s go-for-it chart that garnered so much publicity at the beginning of the season?

Well, Long went-for-it when it mattered most, in overtime with Nevada ahead 38-37, but the momentum in the Aztecs’ favor.

One play after hitting Gavin Escobar on the tight end’s biggest clutch TD reception of the year, backup quarterback Adam Dingwell connected with Adam Roberts to give the Aztecs a huge win over the Wolfpack.
